Nice drawing 🥵

[pallid lotus]

The floating notes irritate me

[rapid merlin]

Oh wow, this theme is pretty

[pallid lotus]

Although it is very pretty

[rapid merlin]

I had one with a rainbow theme, it got annoying fast lol.

[carmine tinsel]

This is persuading me to get on the trillium grindset

[rapid merlin]

I had one called wasp or bee

Something like that

[rapid merlin]

That's what this one is. ^

[eternal timber]

sexy

[rapid merlin]

I had the account for about 48 hours

😂

It’s very nice

[dark mason]

Tmrw I have school

Vacation over, back to pain

[rapid merlin]

Can't wait to get back to class, ready to get this year over with.

[mossy river]

For real

Although I can wait to get back to class

[pallid lotus]

Half surprised you're still at uni. You not needing to go full time THM at this point?

[mossy river]

No, my CM role is part-time

[gleaming grove]

I like college, but I changed my major, so when I go back, I'll be the new guy, but thats cool

and because that, i have to wait 1 year

[orchid dome]

Changed to? CS? Or to specialisation of cybersecurity?

[gleaming grove]

i was in information technology engineering, and i switch to cybersecurity engineering

[dark mason]

Also, funny stuff, I decided to take a first aid course this summer, as my dad is in search and rescue so I can take it for free

[dawn grove]

that's so cool to have a cybersecurity engineering school

[orchid dome]

True, its rare

[dawn grove]

I'd go to school happier at least

[gleaming grove]

Yeah, it's something new at my college, so we have the chance to switch majors

and thats why i have to wait 1 year

im 1 year above the 1rst cybersecurity generation

[dawn grove]

That sucks honestly

[eternal timber]

[orchid dome]

When I go to college, I will be going for computer engineering cuz I want to dive into low level stuff for understanding, I hope it only helps my goal

[bronze kelp]

Why's it funni?

[dawn grove]

I'm still doubting if I'd prefer doing stuff on the hardware part or more like software

Cuz they're both great

[dark mason]

Refer to the reason I told you I bought a first aid kit for

[gleaming grove]

Yes, I have 1 year to study on my own, so I'm trying to see this as an opportunity

[dawn grove]

But i don't see many job careers on the hardware part other than technical

[orchid dome]

True and understanding of both is required for high specialisation later on, here choice of CE and CS is certainly a tough one

[bronze kelp]

😭

[orchid dome]

You can choose courses you want to take and understand security on low level can help, especially in my case since I will go for exploit development

[dawn grove]

Yea now that we code in school i stopped learning some programming languages i know we'll do in the future on my own cuz then i would be bored every lesson and fall asleep

[rapid merlin]

But why?

[eternal timber]

Sundays are so boring

[dawn grove]

Because if i have the opportunity to learn it in school instead of spending 2h studying more in depth some programming language i spend those 2 hours on THM learning stuff i don't learn in school

and i think is more productive tbh

[orchid dome]

No need to learn the same stuff twice although it can give you better understanding but I don’t think its efficient

[dawn grove]

And italian school is like hell

[rapid merlin]

You're not learning the same stuff twice though, you're gaining experience and more knowledge.

Schools cannot teach you everything within a subject. So it's great to research and learn on your own.

[gleaming grove]

i was about to say that your nick sound very latin

[dawn grove]

Yea, im italian

[rapid merlin]

I thought it was Italian

Yeah

[dawn grove]

pizza pasta

[gleaming grove]

i have a friend that we used to call nicolito, cause is name is nicolás

[dawn grove]

lmao

[orchid dome]

Gotta love the diversity of cyberspace

[dawn grove]

yea

I usually don't like learning stuff but THM is hella fun

[orchid dome]

And competitive

[dawn grove]

Now that i have the basics knowledge to even beat some challenge room is even more fun

[dawn grove]

wdym

[orchid dome]

The satisfaction you get when you finish a room by yourself; out of this world

[dawn grove]

yeah

[orchid dome]

THM is competitive as well which makes it addictive

[gleaming grove]

yeah i love climbing ranks and winning points

[orchid dome]

0xD , no wonder

Well at current stage, I am climbing around 4k ranks a day, will take me around 2 months to reach top 1%

[dawn grove]

Yea seeing your rank decreasing is a unique feeling

[sick lance]

You'll reach that faster than you realise.

[gleaming grove]

its cool but i know now that im 0xD that i have a lot to learn

[dawn grove]

I've started on THM the 9th january and im around 170k

[drowsy dust]

I’m top 1% on try hack me 🤓 👆

[gleaming grove]

i just do a lot of rooms thats all

[dawn grove]

u got 20hrs on obsidian damn

and btw how do u get the activity on discord? mines look bad

[gleaming grove]

yeah i study all day thats all

[orchid dome]

Without walkthroughs right? I would rather not do the room then watch walkthroughs and that is what takes me so much time

[gleaming grove]

using obsidian? you can download a plugin called discord rich presence

[dawn grove]

Didnt even know there were plugins

[orchid dome]

How were you showing your activity then? 💀

[gleaming grove]

yeah but i do a lot of theorical rooms

[dawn grove]

I've listed it as a game on discord...

[sick lance]

[orchid dome]

Grt 👌🏻

[dawn grove]

not the best looking but worked

[orchid dome]

You are going for exploit dev?

[whole gazelle]

[gleaming grove]

[sick lance]

As a job? Possibly,

In my spare time? Already do

[whole gazelle]

[dawn grove]

Is the pyrat challenge room easy?

[orchid dome]

Finally in touch with people who can motivate you 👌🏻

[dawn grove]

oh hell nah too many fancy words

[orchid dome]

It is if you have the knowledge for it

[dawn grove]

i dont

never done nothing with payloads

the only time i've used a payload it was given by chatgpt, and worked, so no questions asked

[orchid dome]

I haven’t done it but I went through the description and you will probably have to write a custom python script to get the password

[dawn grove]

yea out of bounds

[gleaming grove]

go for it!

[dawn grove]

yea but i would need to search for a room explaining payloads

and then asking my friend gpt for help

[orchid dome]

Go do the Python Basics room, its easy and gives you enough knowledge for it ig (maybe a lil less)

[gleaming grove]

like this?
https://tryhackme.com/room/intropocscripting

[dawn grove]

What about the "Brains" room??

[dawn grove]

What's this?

for payloads?

[whole gazelle]

intro to python

[gleaming grove]

"Learn the importance and beginner skills of crafting custom proof of concept (PoC) exploit scripts from many different sources."

[dawn grove]

i've already done the intro to python

[orchid dome]

How did I not find this room before 💀

Now thats something interesting

Edit: its a walkthrough, thought it was a challenge 😅

[dawn grove]

but i'm already kinda comfortable with it

[whole gazelle]

nvm i thought it was diffrent room

[dawn grove]

Imma try this poc scripting room then

[whole gazelle]

good luck bro

[orchid dome]

Are you going for any certs?

[whole gazelle]

nah, i'm just fucking in this field, building and breaking shit ton of things

cuz it's cool af

i'm for real, not goin for certificates bro

[orchid dome]

Well thats something, doing something and not showing off takes a different mentality

I do thing, then go for its certification to show it off and possibly affect my chances of getting a job when I apply in the future

[whole gazelle]

everyone got diffrent path and approach

[eternal timber]

[whole gazelle]

i'm not planning to make it my carrer or anything like that, i do that from pure curiosity

Just remain consistent and revise things often.

[molten bone]

[silver sky]

I'll have to take a look at the salary when we cross that bit.

See if it's worth it or they'll do a subsidized season ticket

[orchid dome]

I guess we learn “Don’t use trains in London” 💀

[silver sky]

Or just in the UK

The prices are a joke

[orchid dome]

You have my condolences

[dawn grove]

damn that's expensive

how long is the travel?

[silver sky]

About two hours there and two hours back

[whole gazelle]

this is more a problem with the uk government and law enforcement then apple actually

I haven't been an Apple fan for a long time, however that title is massive click bait

[loud marlin]

i was thalking to proxmox. not to you... 🙂

[rapid merlin]

It’s true and how it’s going over here, it’s quite worrying

this is just taking it further with enforcement really

[calm plank]

Is there anyone who can help me figure out how to print off a 300 page book where the website tries to stop me from printing it off? its educatinal material but ill be damned if i have to read it on the site. there has to be someway to acess it so i can print it as a pdf

[sand trench]

gonna leave that to scrubz or jabba

[sick lance]

No, as this would be piracy.

[mossy river]

the only way would be to purchase the book officially

[calm plank]

its a book from the 1700s no one is losing anything

[sand trench]

you would be surprised how many book publishers from the 1700:s that are still around

[mossy river]

You would be losing your ethics 😄

[calm plank]

i techially paid for acess to it i just want to print it off

[sick lance]

The books isn't meant to be downloaded and/or printed if it's on something that is licensed to you via academic accounts

[mossy river]

Contact the service - they should be able to advise if you purchased it

[sick lance]

Paid via subscription?

[calm plank]

yes

[sick lance]

Then you dont own it.

[rapid merlin]

Do you have a link to that too please

[sick lance]

Just the permission to read it.

[sand trench]

hmmm now shadow wounders if bookmarks would work in their pdf file

[mossy river]

Well it depends on the service as you can download packt books via the subscription afaik

[sick lance]

There may be a ban on printing though.

Or it may not be enabled on the browser/account.

[mossy river]

That would be illegal and against our community rules @calm plank

[slender skiff]

hey guys.. how do i add my rank to my profile and stuff

[sand trench]

In April 2018 the High Court of Justice ruled that the Investigatory Powers Act violates EU law.[5][68] The government had until 1 November 2018 to amend the legislation.[69] On 31 October 2018 The Data Retention and Acquisition Regulations 2018[70] came into force to address this ruling. These regulations increased the threshold for accessing communications data only for the purposes of serious crime (defined as offences which are capable of being sentenced to imprisonment for a term of 12 months or more) and requires that authorities consult an independent Investigatory Powers Commissioner before requesting data. The regulations also included a loophole where rapid approval can be made internally without independent approval but with a three-day expiry and with subsequent review by the independent body. Most debates about the regulations have been about the definition of "serious crime" with many arguing that the threshold should be at three years.[71]

[rapid merlin]

@sick lance what command to link the verifcation guide? normal lIy go to server guide and copy the link when someone asks for it.

[calm plank]

i am going to farrier school and they gave me a one month free subscription for a website that has textbooks for horse care and management. i just want to print it off so i can study

[sick lance]

/docs then use "discord"

[mossy river]

/docs searches everything on help.tryhackme.com

So if there are any others on there you can just write the title of the document into the bot

[rapid merlin]

I’ve seen an article of someone going to prison over a fb status where she quoted a song.

[sick lance]

[sand trench]

yeah but none clickable page jumps like some of the other pdfs shadow has used over the years

this is good enough sure

[rapid merlin]

https://www.pdfannotator.com/en/howto/create_page_link

[grizzled wing]

portable documents are nice, never liked non-portable documents

[wooden totem]

Whyd you link it, did you not read it

[rapid merlin]

it still applies to other pdf editors.

I have to do a class presentation in a few weeks and I'm using pdf for my notes/slides. Had to figure this out myself recently.

[sand trench]

When I was a child, there was a single choice you could make which either made you private or public. You could specify that your telephone number be unlisted. This action removed you from the telephone book, for a small fee, and made you practically invisible. This is laughable today. The moment you deed your home in your name, it is public information on the internet.
yeah shadow remembers this era

[grizzled wing]

for slides i like using the terminal, i use patat for slides, supports code chunks . very nerdy

[rapid merlin]

I might use something else for the slides and have a pdf open for notes.

[sand trench]

yeah no not gonna go out and spend money on a tool for it and definitely not one that only has windows versions

[grizzled wing]

oh the days of phonebooks

[rapid merlin]

It applies to other pdf editors.

most of them at-least

libreoffice for example, which I use.

if all else fails, just make an HTML document.

[rapid merlin]

Which countries are considered generally safe when considering privacy and human rights laws ?

[sand trench]

that is a hard question to answer

[fringe nacelle]

Isn't Europe considered more private because of GDPR or whatever it's called

[rapid merlin]

Swizz?

My first thought.

[sand trench]

yeah then it is because the pdf is encrypted so it is not "editable" normally

readable sure
editable not so much

[rapid merlin]

Switzerland is pretty good

[sand trench]

libre office said no not gonna open that without a key

and yes gdpr helps make the EU a bit safer for privacy

but there is plenty of weird stuff that kinda bricks that approach in places

aaaand on page 14 of reading now :D

[rapid merlin]

Also it looks incredible

[wooden totem]

Imagine if you didn't need privacy because you trust everyone

[rapid merlin]

“The only way to maintain privacy on the internet is to not be on the internet.”

[rapid merlin]

Apart from you can’t even get a job without applying through the web 😭

[wooden totem]

So basically don't be born in a hospital

[sand trench]

and yay:

[grizzled wing]

[rapid merlin]

That’s one thing that really annoys me. Having to use the web to apply for work

[sick lance]

Why do you think you need the internet for the government to keep tabs?

[wooden totem]

You would rather have the inconvenience?

[sand trench]

privacy is a scale
you can't achieve perfect
and you can't give everyone your most intimate details
you lie somewhere on the scale
and working towards getting closer to the perfect privacy is always worth it if you can stand the down trend in convience

[rapid merlin]

I would rather have the security than the convenience

[rapid merlin]

Because 99% chance they use internet/tech to track you.

[sick lance]

And before the internet?

Did they just leave you alone? 😂

[sand trench]

there was a lot of tracking before the internet too

[rapid merlin]

Go on, speel da beanz

[wooden totem]

Back in my day, the government would just write all your info on the walls of a deep hole

[rapid merlin]

Talking about beans, I had a fry up this morning

To be fair, windows is more complex than linux.

[grizzled wing]

[sand trench]

though the models shadow use are very popular

storing your python code models so it can be reused with same weights = reproducible models

Kali: Many people advocate using a Linux build called Kali which is pre-loaded with numerous security-related tools. However, Kali is designed to be executed as a virtual machine and I believe it should never be executed for personal usage.

good
more people need to realise this

[rapid merlin]

I love banana bread

[blazing granite]

[sand trench]

shadow loves magic banana oatmeal cookies

[silver sky]

Ohhh yes

[rapid merlin]

I will rarely eat cookies but they gotta be warm and chewy

[silver sky]

Fresh baked chocolate chip cookies 🤤

[sand trench]

the magic oatmeal cookies are healthy

[rapid merlin]

I like oats too, I like them in the crunchy breakfast bars with honey

[sand trench]

i.e recipe incomming
1 over ripe banana
1 cup of quick oats

mash banana to pulp in bowl
add 1 cup of quick oats
mix with hands
place on sheet
put in oven

eat and enjoy

[rapid merlin]

And yes chocolate chip are nice

[rapid merlin]

Ohh that’s nice and fast

[sand trench]

yeah

they are nice too

technically you can use apple sauce instead of bananas

but the banana version is superior

[rapid merlin]

So in theory you can also add honey

👀

Yum

[sand trench]

probably

never tried with honey

[rapid merlin]

I love honey oats

[sand trench]

if you try making them with honey please tell shadow how it turns out

[rapid merlin]

Yesss I will do ☺️

[silver sky]

You do a lot of baking?

[sand trench]

shadow basically just do that magic oatmeal cookies about once a month when they feel like cookies

[rapid merlin]

I bake sometimes

Not often as I’m more into cooking meats and full meals

A lot of Asian foods

[sand trench]

[rapid merlin]

I’ve only ever seen a MAC twice in my life

thank goodness I made a snapshot last-night because I just absolutely destroyed my build just now

please don't ask how

Good piece of advice... don't have your virtual machine theme look too much like your host machine theme. You will end up running a command in the wrong terminal.

I want someone with lots of money to make me food and take care of me while I do my hobbies.

[rapid merlin]

I hear that a lot

[regal beacon]

i got questions for yall

[fossil merlin]

That's why I am in IT, someone who's socially awkward will fall in love with me and I won't have to do anything I don't want to do ever again uwu

[regal beacon]

has anyone here made any money on bug bounties

[fossil merlin]

A few have, yes.

[rapid merlin]

Everyone always wishes to find someone so they can have lots of money. I wish I had lots of money so people would leave me alone 😂

[regal beacon]

from your insight, im trying to just make some extra pocket change like uber drivers do

is it easy to do that from bug bounty

if i know what im doing

[fossil merlin]

That was going to be my qualifier lmao

So I mean I wouldn't call it "easy" it can be incredibly time consuming.

[regal beacon]

would i say require like 5 hours

not nessecarily that amount

[fossil merlin]

But yeah if you really learn what you are looking for and get good you can make money

[fossil merlin]

I mean there's no time specification.

I've heard stories of people going weeks without finding anything and others having really good luck.

[regal beacon]

ok that makes sense. so ive heard hackerone is really good

[whole yew]

Bug Bounty is not stable income. If you are looking to make it your main source, be prepared to have very lean times.

Bug bounty is great for learning about scope, and I would consider it as a very very very tightly scoped and light pentest.

[regal beacon]

any other platform suggestions

[regal beacon]

just some extra change

[whole yew]

Most of the really well paying bug bounty programs are invite only

So once you have a reputation from the publicly available bug bounty sites, you are more likely to be invited to the private ones.

[regal beacon]

wow so its very convienent for newer people to get into ethical hacking

[rapid merlin]

Love how Junn drops truth bombs in here instead of letting people believe things that aren't likely to happen.

[regal beacon]

tbf i literally specified it was for "extra change"

so my expections werent high lol

[rapid merlin]

True but it's great information for other people.

[regal beacon]

true

[rapid merlin]

Don't let it discourage you. It can be a lucrative side gig.

[eternal timber]

I had too much barbecue

Ughhh

[whole yew]

The longer people believe incorrect/bad/wrong things, the worse the shock will be. Better to have a correct understanding of the landscape before committing to a move that will jump you off a cliff.

[rapid merlin]

My brother works in CS and he told me the exact same stuff. I was wanting to get a bunch of certs but he swayed me to go to school and obtain a scholarship instead.

Also have an internship coming at the start of next school year.

[whole yew]

Long term, that's a better plan if you can afford to put off making money.

[rapid merlin]

I'll have at-least 3 years of experience before I graduate.

[rapid merlin]

This is interesting and new information

[whole yew]

For many people, it isn't feasible to go to school full-time for a BS or B.Sc in a related degree program.

IMO it's better to live like you are poor for as long as possible - everyone goes a little crazy buying stuff when they get their first career paychecks though.

[rapid merlin]

There's quite a few companies and gov programs out there that will help with scholarships.

But I'm in the US so it could be different for you UK folks.

[regal beacon]

school is better anyway due to getting the scholarship + the certs + the internship and youll probably get a job before you finish school, my dad did

[whole yew]

For some people, it's not feasible, for whatever reason. If I didn't have the support of my parents when I went back in my 20s, I would not have been able to afford it. And that's without being married and having kids. Affording education becomes a lot more challenging in different life circumstances.

[regal beacon]

you can stack the cert course with degree at my school

and they have internships on site so-

getting a cert alone wont matter

[grizzled void]

what is shadow reading?

[regal beacon]

im also in the US

colorado specifically as you know, duh lol ofc

college in US is very friendly

ngl

[grizzled void]

nvm i see the name a few messages down

[regal beacon]

even expensive colleges can be very friendly

towards helping you achieve your goals

they dont like to give up on students

[rapid merlin]

Yeah, my school has tons of internship programs. It's unreal.

[jolly aspen]

[regal beacon]

mine has 3 on site and 5-8 off site partnership internships

[whole yew]

I ended up graduating from a private university in the US. Pretty large amount of debt for me, but it's been worth it so far.

[whole yew]

Never. Big waste of money.

[jolly aspen]

But how will everyone know how cool I am

[regal beacon]

what was your major if you dont mind me asking juun

[whole yew]

I drive a 22 year old truck.

CompSci.

[rapid merlin]

Unless I'm a billionaire, i'm never buying lambos or pointless purchases like that.

[regal beacon]

i think i already asked you this phreak but do you have a tech job

[whole yew]

I wouldn't buy a fancy sports car, period. I wouldn't get any enjoyment out of driving it on the roads, and I don't want to spend all the extra money to haul it around to the racetracks to have fun with it

[rapid merlin]

No. I'm not working, I'm in school.

[regal beacon]

my grandpa is in IT and he drives an old ass jeep

has his own company too

good house but nothing fancy

im trying to also live like that

good money but very humble

[carmine tinsel]

tbh i didnt realize how many cybersec nerds have relatives in tech

[rapid merlin]

My brother makes $330k a year, he's a seniior security engineer.

[whole yew]

It's not about humility. It's honestly about figuring out what's important to you and what you can put in your life that makes you happy.

[regal beacon]

both my dad and grandpa are in IT with buisness and compsci majors

lol

it runs in the family

[carmine tinsel]

no one i know irl is into it, im the first😆

[rapid merlin]

Yeah, also have an uncle in IT.

[regal beacon]

i have a bit of experiance too

helping program self checkouts

at markets

and putting in computers at office depots years back

it was honestly so damn fun

[rapid merlin]

"but self checkouts are taking our jobs"

[regal beacon]

its amazing how so untrue this is

[rapid merlin]

Right.

[regal beacon]

people still have to work the self checkout as a cashier-

💀

ive done it

at kroger

[rapid merlin]

Plus techs to keep them running.

[regal beacon]

yep

[rapid merlin]

Engineers to build them.

I can keep going.

[regal beacon]

engineers to build them, other tech positions to program them

and the people at the store to run them

etc

[rapid merlin]

I love self-checkouts because I don't have to talk to anyone.

[swift torrent]

Fr

[whole yew]

I hate them because I'm paying to bag and check out my own groceries. I'm not getting money back to use the self checkout, and I'm not in any hurry.

[swift torrent]

Except all the ones I use are shit for some reason

[regal beacon]

most grocery markets in colorado provide you to bring your own bags

we dont do plastic or even paper at most places anymore

its to save the turtles

lol

[whole yew]

That doesn't change anything in my statement, London. And I'm aware, I live in NoCo.

I lived in Denver and Brighton for the last 11 years, recently moved north.

[eternal timber]

where is that

[swift torrent]

Not in Montana we are “ tough Montanas we hunt” we literally have a theme song to eat meat

It’s crazy here

[regal beacon]

you guys still use plastic?

[swift torrent]

Yep

I don’t

But the rest of the state dous

[rapid merlin]

I'm over here watching 1923 also

[regal beacon]

i have like a million king soopers reuseable bags.

[whole yew]

It's more about the huge amounts of plastic bags that were going into the landfills. Stopping the disposable plastic bags saved several hundred tons of trash from going into landfills annually

[regal beacon]

😭

[swift torrent]

Bro that and Yellowstone brought a million ppl here

[rapid merlin]

I wouldn't doubt it. Every big show does that to towns/cities.

[eternal timber]

sick

[swift torrent]

Yeah it’s stupid

Like half the ppl leave cuz of the brutal winter

😂

[regal beacon]

from what i understand it was not nessecarily the rationale for the landfill, but to save wildlife, more particularly turtles who were eating the plastic bags

but landfill is a big contributer to that ofc

[rapid merlin]

consumer electronics is even worst

[eternal timber]

Yellowstone turned to poop though.

[regal beacon]

did they get rid of the wolves yet

[fallen burrow]

Maybe Yellowstone was always like that

[eternal timber]

.replace("Europe", "USA")

[regal beacon]

nah ever since they tried to get rid of the wolves it became shit. theyre actively ruining yellowstone tbh.

[elder peak]

Oh nice, should I watch 1883 first ?

[regal beacon]

yellowstone is def not what it used to be lol

[rapid merlin]

I would. But it doesn't really matter imo. Stories doesn't crossover too much like the original star wars.

[fallen burrow]

I was mostly referring to the show I think

[regal beacon]

ah im dumb

lmao

[fallen burrow]

the creator went to make another oil propaganda show so I have no empathy for shitting on his creation

[queen flare]

windows is not letting me take notes about web shells

[simple valve]

Typical Obsidian

Lol

[queen flare]

why do say that?

[whole yew]

it happens with obsidian as well as OneNote

but legitimately 'obsidian vaults' is in your path

[queen flare]

any ways to prevent this from happening without disabling windows security altogether?

[whole yew]

don't use a raw file note taker

use a database-backed note taking application that you have encrypted and locked the db

you could whitelist the notes files, but IMO that is not a good practice long term

such as the situatino where you need to migrate notes to a new system and forget to whitelist.... note yeeted

[queen flare]

i agree with this
but can't find a notetaker app like that

any suggestions?

[whole yew]

trilium, joplin, cherrytree

[queen flare]

which one do you use the most?

[whole yew]

depends on expected use case

[simple valve]

I use Notion for my normal notes

Its not everyone’s cup of tea though

[whole yew]

notion is ok, but it's cloud based

[queen flare]

notion is kinda expensive

[whole yew]

and to be perfectly honest, i don't like it when my data leaves my control like that

[simple valve]

Its free

I mean there is a premium part but for my use case, I haven’t had to pay

[queen flare]

isn't there a storage limit with the free plan?

[simple valve]

Nope

[fallen burrow]

Putting your notes on the cloud, even with Obsidian Sync, seems a bit pointless

[queen flare]

ah i gotta give it a shot sometimes as well then

[fallen burrow]

syncthing or another app like it is pretty easy to set up

[queen flare]

thing is i use a laptop and a desktop for thm
and on top of that have dualboot on both
so its like using 4 different pcs
therefore, i want to have my notes synced no matter which device and os i am on

otherwise it becomes hectic

[whole yew]

Eh, cloud is fine for the backup part. My problem with cloud is that I don't own the server my notes would sit on, not the backup/redundancy part.

I have a small server I use for backups, I keep a daily update of my important data there and I have a cold storage I update every 6 months.

[simple valve]

You could theoretically build your own server that hosts your Trilium notes and from there just do some shenanigans that only allows you to access it

[whole yew]

I would proof of concept that in a homelab very thoroughly before putting my notes app on a public server

such as a DO droplet or ec2

[queen flare]

turning an old pc into a server could work for cloud storage to save notes

[whole yew]

that's not really cloud storage

cloud is, be definition, resources you don't own that is reachable by public internet

[queen flare]

oh

[whole yew]

we can talk public vs private cloud, but unless you work in enterprise IT, it's not going to make sense

[queen flare]

even if its reachable by public internet, but owned by me would that still be not cloud?

[whole yew]

Think real hard for a minute and maybe look up what "cloud computing" is

[fallen burrow]

If your data is hosted in some datacenter somewhere, on a server you don't own, that's cloud computing

good general rule.

[jolly aspen]

It’s just remote resources or remote storage at that point

[whole yew]

Not necessarily. You can own resources (eg, server in a colo such as hetzner) that has a public IP address and is routable from the internet, that does not mean that those resources are a cloud resource.

[queen flare]

i see

[fallen burrow]

fixed my definition

[whole yew]

Cloud is explicitly X-as-a-Service, such as Infrastructure, Platform, Software, Service

[rapid merlin]

cloud computing =/= cloud storage

[whole yew]

In this case, cloud compute and cloud storage are interchangable for our examples.

[fallen burrow]

If you want your data to be your own, I would suggest setting up a home server.

[whole yew]

Do not expose anything on your home network to a public IP unless you know networking very well.

[rapid merlin]

You can build a nice little piNAS server for cheap.

[whole yew]

It's really easy to accidentally open your entire network to randos if you don't understand how routing and firewalls work.

[fallen burrow]

Tailscale/Wireguard is a good solution for exposing your home infrastructure.

From what i've heard

[whole yew]

it can be. But again, don't do it unless you know how to secure your network.

[jolly aspen]

Zerotier

[queen flare]

or you could just have a separate broadband connection solely for hosting the data

[fallen burrow]

Setting up separate internet service just to host notes is rad as hell

[whole yew]

If those two networks are bridged, you are opening yourself up to pain. If you do this, you are very likely to expose your network to the internet. Please do not go ahead without a good understanding of how to secure a network.

[rapid merlin]

That doesn't change anything regarding security

[fallen burrow]

I would recommend hosting your own stuff if you are fine with learning how to secure it. The slightly higher energy bill would be less than whatever you pay for the cloud service.

[whole yew]

if the words "network segmentation", "DMZ", and "port forwarding" don't mean anything to you, do not open up any network

[jolly aspen]

It could. But I doubt they mean to DMZ the server from everything else, that would be extra extra

[queen flare]

if i hypothetically go to my isp and tell them to set up a new cable and a seperate broadband connection, and only use that to host my remote storage
how would that expose my home network
the two networks are not connected to each other in any way

[chilly veldt]

Morning

[queen flare]

that way the networks aren't bridged

[whole yew]

that's pretty extra. I wouldn't pay an extra $50/month for a separate line.

[jolly aspen]

It would mean devices in the same house are going through your ISP to talk to the server on your desk, three feet to your left

🤣

[queen flare]

that's why i said hypothetically 🤣
although internet is pretty cheap here
you could get a 100mbps line for 5 bucks here

[whole yew]

yeah, hitting at least the first hop, hopefully the ISP switch is smart enough to bounce the packets back down to the other decie

You do you, but I think it's a waste of money to pay for a resource you're going to use 1/100th of

[fallen burrow]

A lot of hassle when you could just learn to set up a Wireguard instance

[queen flare]

same

[fallen burrow]

I'm running my services on a Raspberry Pi till I can afford to get a decent low-wattage home server.

If you have one lying around, could be useful.

[queen flare]

you could also set up a proxy vpn service
to make sure the data travels through the entire planet to reach the server on your desk

lmao

[orchid dome]

Where?

[queen flare]

india

[orchid dome]

Ahh

[jolly aspen]

That would surely increase the security 👮🏻‍♂️

[twin willow]

honestly just get a whole new isp at that point

[rapid merlin]

Why new ISP?

[queen flare]

i am just thinking how cool it would be that your data is travelling to germany or albania or something and coming back, to be able to reach your phone in the next room

[twin willow]

why not go the extra mile

[jolly aspen]

They are going 26,000 extra miles I think

[fallen burrow]

Just check out Tailscale and research anything, terms or otherwise, that you don't understand.

[orchid dome]

None of those guys ever change the default settings when setting up things, its so easy to get in

Unless its a big company

[orchid dome]

My Tor always connects to Germany first for some reason 🤔

Deutschland 🫡

[queen flare]

Maybe that's the default configuration at the NSA server your traffic is going through

[celest torrent]

sad, but possibly true

[dark mason]

Keep in mind, I am on plains and it's usually -2 degrees on the morning

[eternal timber]

The government messes with your notes so you forget critical information that threatens them .s

[orchid dome]

Umm, north European countries?

[dark mason]

South

And eastern

I am in romania

[orchid dome]

It gets that cold there?

Thought it was Norway or somewhere

[dark mason]

Apparently

[orchid dome]

Especially cuz feb is ending

[queen flare]

it feels like -15 degrees even though its -16
so there's nothing to worry about since you'll feel warm

[dark mason]

I will nothing

Hypothermia is a bitch

[rapid merlin]

https://tenor.com/view/spongebob-freezing-cold-gif-21013027

[orchid dome]

This year we hit -9

[queen flare]

at least there is no precipitation in the next 60 mins

[orchid dome]

Global warming sure is affecting temperatures

[dark mason]

Fr

[dark mason]

Yeah, it got colded over here

[orchid dome]

And the summers will be hotter

[dark mason]

Possibly

[orchid dome]

Expect a rise of 4-5 degrees this time

[queen flare]

that much in a year?

are you talking celcius or fahrenheit

[orchid dome]

Celsius 💀

[queen flare]

dafuq

[orchid dome]

On average, it will only be around 1-2 degrees

[jolly aspen]

50c summers

[queen flare]

even we don't have that here

[orchid dome]

But since winter gets colder and summer gets hotter, real affect is different than scientifically calculated one

A region with 46 degree highest should expect 50

[queen flare]

its around 40-42 celcius max here during summer

[jolly aspen]

[orchid dome]

30 degrees here

[queen flare]

that's cold

[orchid dome]

Lol

[celest torrent]

wow, that is scorching

[queen flare]

its humid

so you get to sweat

[orchid dome]

Aka hotter💀

[queen flare]

and you get to keep your sweat when you do that

[orchid dome]

Less humid = more sweat

[jolly aspen]

My Natural habitat is near the equator

[orchid dome]

A place with 90% humidity will lead to death at even 30 degree temp

[queen flare]

less humid would technically mean you lose more water through sweat
but since concentration of water vapour in the air is low, that sweat will evaporate

[orchid dome]

That helps in cooling down

And its important

[queen flare]

but more humid would mean your sweat sticks on you

[orchid dome]

No sweating = death

[jolly aspen]

Wet buulb

[celest torrent]

speaking of temperatures, I just noticed this ubuntu server on one of the crypto rooms motd info says the system temp is -273.1 C xD

[queen flare]

which is more annoying

[orchid dome]

True

I asked chatGPT about it

It said there are no temp devices in VMs

So maybe thats why it shows that temperature

[queen flare]

which is a physical impossibility since that's .1c lower than absolute zero

[dark mason]

Isn't that absolute zero?

[jolly aspen]

It’s a superconductor

[orchid dome]

Lol, no

Its just error 404

In temp style

[celest torrent]

must be on a starlink xD

[jolly aspen]

Obvi that Room is built on a quantum computer

[queen flare]

lmfao

[dark mason]

No, absolute zero is the lowest temperature in the universe

[queen flare]

don't you know computers have a cold heart?

[dark mason]

Yeah, it's absolute zero

[dark mason]

That cold?

[orchid dome]

Its not the lowest temp since its not achievable technically. All quantum activities stop at -273 and thus existence stops as well

Since this all is just vibrations

Vibration stops aka poof there is nothing

[jolly aspen]

Quantum computer is -273.15c

[orchid dome]

This is just based on the assumption that string theory is correct

[queen flare]

is this a joke
otherwise, what's your source?

[orchid dome]

Which I think it is

[dark mason]

That's why it's called absolute zero

It can't go beyond that

[jolly aspen]

Ah fair, it’s -272.15 one degree off

.01 Kelvin

[queen flare]

yeah that sounds right
since its a superconductor its kept close to absolute zero

but it can't be colder than absolute zero, because that's physically impossible

[jolly aspen]

Nothing is impossible

[dark mason]

Fly right now

[jolly aspen]

Being colder would certainly be impractical

[dark mason]

Pull yourself up somehow and fly

[jolly aspen]

I am

[dark mason]

W h a t

[jolly aspen]

Open your eyes, sparrow

[dark mason]

WHAT IS THIS

[celest torrent]

I can fly twice as high, LeVar Burton taught me that.

[queen flare]

think of coldness as absence of heat
the more heat you take away from something, the colder it gets
now, if you take away all the heat from something, you get absolute zero
after that you can't have anything colder, because there is no more heat in it for you to take away

[orchid dome]

Third law of thermodynamics

So unless that law is incorrect, its impossible

[eternal timber]

That’s not how string theory works at all

[dark mason]

No mods online

[jolly aspen]

Which, a law is only deemed a law because it’s probability has reached a threshold that is still a non certainty

[queen flare]

i like how this discussion turned from hacking to quantum physics

[rapid merlin]

https://tenor.com/view/nerds-mad-football-rage-gif-16650450

[orchid dome]

1D strings vibrating at different frequencies….?

[dark mason]

One time it turned from hacking into flight simulators

[jolly aspen]

@whole yew @mossy river @sick lance

[orchid dome]

If it’s observable without contradiction. But then again we have humans have created many laws which contradict more often than not. So maybe in the future we will discover something new

[jolly aspen]

Exactly my point

[rapid merlin]

Wouldn't be a law if it could't be broken.
